This or that beauty tag

This or that beauty tag!!!

So I've been pretty busy today so I haven't had time to be taking photos or editing so I thought so I'm still keeping up with blogging everyday I'd just do a tag so today I'm doing the 'this or that beauty tag'
So lets get on with the questions...

Blush or Bronzer? Bronzer cause I'm convinced I have a really round head so contouring my cheek bones makes my face look a bit slimmer

Lipgloss or Lipstick? Lipstick

Eye liner or Mascara? Mascara Because it opens my eyes and makes me look more awake

Foundation or concealer? Concealer

Neutral or colour eye shadow? Neutral eyeshadow

Pressed or loose eyeshadows? Pressed

Brushes or sponges? Brushes

So that's it for this tag but I hope you enjoyed and hopefully I will have a review up tommorow!

Nivea Express Hydration Primer


Nivea Express Hydration Primer Review

So after my bare minerals 'prime time' primer ran out I was in search of a new primer so when watching some videos on YouTube I saw this advert for a new primer starring fleurdeforce (who is a massive beauty inspiration for me),  it looked quite good and so I researched it and found out it was only £5 which for me is a bargain considering most primers are over the £20 mark, so I ordered it off superdrug.






I never really notice much difference with primers in the way that they're supposed to make your make up stay on longer and with this I don't notice much difference however I think this is a brilliant base for make up and makes my foundation glide on like a dream! 
I have incredibly dry skin and I found this really moisturising and I also have quite sensitive skin however it didn't irritate my skin at all but still has a nice scent. I also think this is a really nice refresh if you need a bit of a moisture during the day.


Overall I really like this primer and for £5 you can't really go wrong!

You can buy this at superdrug

As you can see I do have a lot of trainer type branded shoes which actually I'm not so keen on as much now and I guess I'm kind of maturing on the shoes I like and what I wear so maybe I'll do an updated one of these at a later date! So I'm just going to list the shoes and where there from down below...

White high-top converse - Office 

Pink Converse - Office

Beige gem sandals - Next

Multi-coloured sandals - I got these a few years ago in Greece so I don't know if you could get hold of these anymore

Straw-coloured mid heels - Ted Baker

Leopard print vans - Office

Black Patent Heels - George at Asda

Red Vans - Schuh

Black sparkly vans - Schuh

Pink and purple Nike blazers - Nike

White low converse - Office

I do have a few other pairs downstairs but they're all black so they're more of the shoe I would wear to school so I haven't included them!


So I hope this was interesting to just take a look at my shoe collection and if you have any requested post them please comment them below!!!

Nars Laguna bronzer review

Nars Laguna Bronzer Review




Okay so I've wanted this bronzer for a while but never seemed to buy it however last weekend while on a shopping trip with my friend I persuaded myself to buy it. I read 
a lot of reviews on blogs and on YouTube before and it was being constantly raved about.




So in the store the colour looked a bit dark and scary and maybe a bit too much but after using it I instantly fell in love with it, the colour is quite dark but blend it a bit and problem 
solved. It has a slight shimmer but its not too much but the perfect amount which gives an amazing summer glow to the face without creating a weird orange line. This bronzer is great for contouring.




This bronzer is priced at £26 which is very expensive for a bronzer but I think in this case you pay for what you get.

Overall I love Nars Laguna Bronzer and I think this product will be living in my make up bag for a long time.
